Does this crash still happen with 4.20-rc? Because as of 6af588fed391 it 
really shouldn't.

s/solved/worked around/

If you want a guarantee of actually getting a specific hardware context 
allocated for a given domain, there needs to be code in the IOMMU driver 
to understand and honour that. Implicitly depending on whatever happens 
to fall out of current driver behaviour on current systems is not a real 
solution.

That's rather misleading, since the crash described above depends on at 
least two other major changes which came long after that commit.

It's not that I don't understand exactly what you want here - just that 
this commit message isn't a coherent justification for that ;)

Given that a default domain will already have been allocated by the time 
we get here, regardless of whether we pretend of_iommu_configure() did 
nothing, I'm puzzled as to how this change is 'solving' that aspect as 
claimed :/

Is CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH a sufficient workaround for msm at 
the moment, or do you have other devices which do actually want 
iommu_dma_ops?
